Tackling Holiday Messes
December 16, 2024
Organic Cleaning Solutions for a Stress-Free Season
The holiday season is filled with joy, family gatherings, and delicious meals, but it often brings with it a fair share of messes. From spills and stains to glittery decorations that seem to stick around until July, the cleanup can feel overwhelming.
This year, skip the stress and tackle holiday messes with organic cleaning solutions that are safe for your family and the environment. These tips will help you keep your home fresh and inviting, so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the season with your loved ones.
1. Tackle Tough Stains with Natural Power
Whether it’s red wine on your tablecloth or chocolate on your sofa, holiday stains are bound to happen. Here’s a simple organic solution:
For fabric stains: Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts water and dab the stain gently with a clean cloth. Sprinkle baking soda on the area to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
For carpets: Blot the stain (don’t rub!) with a mixture of warm water and mild liquid soap. Follow up with a sprinkle of cornstarch to lift any remaining residue.
2. Glitter Be Gone!
Glitter decorations are fun until they take over your home. To make cleanup easier:
Use a lint roller to quickly pick up glitter from tables, upholstery, and carpets.
For hard surfaces, dampen a microfiber cloth with water or an organic cleaner and wipe in one direction to trap the glitter.
3. Freshen Up the Kitchen Naturally
After a big holiday meal, your kitchen might need a refresh. Keep it clean and odor-free with these eco-friendly tips:
For greasy stovetops and counters: Create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply it to greasy areas, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a damp sponge. For lingering odors: Simmer a pot of water with citrus peels and cinnamon sticks for a natural and festive air freshener.
4. Say Goodbye to Sticky Residue
Holiday stickers, tape, and other adhesives can leave sticky marks on furniture or windows. Remove them with this simple trick:
Dab the sticky area with olive oil or coconut oil, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, and then gently scrub with a soft cloth.
5. Keep Your Bathroom Guest-Ready
Bathrooms see extra use during the holidays, so keeping them fresh is key.
Use an organic all-purpose spray to wipe down countertops, faucets, and mirrors. Place a bowl of baking soda mixed with a few drops of essential oil in the bathroom to absorb odors and add a pleasant scent.
6. Green Solutions for Post-Party Cleanup
The aftermath of a holiday gathering can feel daunting, but these eco-friendly steps can make it manageable:
Use reusable microfiber cloths instead of paper towels to clean up spills. Separate recyclable materials like bottles and cans from general waste to keep cleanup sustainable.

As we strive to maintain clean and healthy homes, we often overlook the impact of the cleaning products we use. Many conventional cleaning solutions contain harsh chemicals that can pose risks to our health and the environment. Understanding these dangers is the first step to making safer, more informed choices. The Health Risks of Conventional Cleaners Conventional cleaning products often contain ingredients such as ammonia, bleach, and phthalates. These substances can cause respiratory issues, skin irritations, and even hormonal disruptions with prolonged exposure. For households with children, pets, or individuals with allergies, the risks can be even more significant. Environmental Impact The chemicals in many cleaners don’t just vanish after use. They can seep into waterways, harming aquatic life and contributing to pollution. Switching to organic and biodegradable products helps protect our planet’s delicate ecosystems.

The holidays are a wonderful time filled with family, friends, and festive cheer. But once the celebrations wind down, you might find your home looking a little worse for wear. From leftover party messes to stray bits of tinsel, the post-holiday cleanup can feel overwhelming. With this easy-to-follow checklist, you can tackle the mess and refresh your space naturally. Let’s roll up our sleeves and welcome the new year with a clean, sparkling home! 1. Clear Out Holiday Decorations Begin your cleanup by carefully taking down holiday decorations. Organize and store: Pack ornaments, lights, and other decorations in labeled bins for easy access next year. Use recycled tissue paper or old newspapers to wrap fragile items. Recycle or compost: Dispose of your Christmas tree responsibly by checking local recycling programs or composting it. For natural wreaths and garlands, composting is a great eco-friendly option. 2. Clean High-Traffic Areas Holiday gatherings often leave high-traffic spaces like living rooms, kitchens, and hallways looking a bit worn. Vacuum and mop: Remove crumbs, dirt, and pet hair from floors and carpets using a vacuum with a HEPA filter. Follow up with an organic floor cleaner for a streak-free shine. Dust surfaces: Wipe down shelves, baseboards, and tables with a microfiber cloth and an organic dusting spray to remove holiday glitter and dust. 3. Refresh the Kitchen After all the holiday cooking and baking, your kitchen deserves some TLC. Declutter and sanitize: Toss expired leftovers and wipe down shelves in the fridge and pantry with a mixture of water, white vinegar, and a few drops of lemon essential oil. Degrease appliances: Use a paste of baking soda and water to scrub ovens, stovetops, and greasy areas. Rinse with a damp cloth for a fresh finish. 4. Revive Bathrooms and Guest Rooms If you hosted guests over the holidays, give these spaces some extra attention. Launder linens: Wash and store any extra bedding or towels used by guests. Use an eco-friendly detergent for a fresh, chemical-free scent. Scrub and sanitize: Clean sinks, toilets, and shower areas with a natural scrub made from baking soda and liquid castile soap. Add a drop of tea tree oil for an antibacterial boost. 5. Eliminate Leftover Party Odors Holiday scents are lovely, but lingering odors from parties or cooking are not. Freshen the air: Simmer a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and cloves to naturally scent your home. Deodorize carpets and upholstery: Sprinkle baking soda on rugs and furniture, let it sit for 15–20 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly. Diffuse your favorite essential oils. 6. Tidy Up Outdoor Areas If you hosted outdoor gatherings or decorated your yard, don’t forget to clean these spaces too. Collect and recycle: Pick up stray party items like paper cups or decorations and recycle what you can. Sweep and wash: Sweep porches, patios, and walkways, and hose down outdoor furniture for a fresh start. 7. Reward Yourself with a Relaxing Space After all the hard work, treat yourself by creating a cozy, clean spot to relax. Light an organic candle, grab a warm drink, and enjoy the comfort of your refreshed home. With this checklist, you’ll have your home back in tip-top shape in no time.
