Cleaning is the most important task before Diwali. A clean home brings positive energy and sets the perfect stage for decorations and celebrations.
Instead of tackling the entire house at once, divide your home into sections or rooms. This method saves time and makes cleaning more manageable.
Start with corners of the ceiling, fans, light fittings, and high shelves. Dust falls downward, so cleaning from above ensures the floor stays clean longer.
Make a solution of water and vinegar to clean windows, mirrors, and glass surfaces. This removes smudges, dust, and grime, leaving everything sparkling.
Wash or dry-clean curtains, cushion covers, and sofa upholstery to remove dust and odours. Fresh fabrics instantly brighten up your living space and add a festive charm.
Open cabinets and shelves to remove dust inside. Don’t forget corners and hard-to-reach spaces for a deep clean.
Clean and polish the entrance of your home. Repaint or apply polish to doors if needed, ensuring your home makes a great first impression.
To remove odours, sprinkle baking soda on carpets or rugs. Let it sit for a few minutes before vacuuming for a fresh, clean smell.
After cleaning, arrange your furniture, decorations, and festive items neatly. A well-organised home enhances the festive mood and keeps the space clutter-free.
