Before Going to Bed

There a couple of tasks to get done before you go to bed and wake up to a huge mess the morning after.

Things like:

Collecting cups, beer cans, and any empty bottles you find around the house. Alcohol does not smell good when it’s old and warm overnight.
Put leftover food and snacks on the fridge
Re-cork unfinished open bottles so you don’t waste good wine
Apply stain remover to cloths and napkins so they can easily be washed the next morning
Fill the dishwasher to avoid ants coming over for a visit

Once you get those done, it’ll be really quick and then you’ll be able to rest for the morning after! Speaking of which, when you do wake up, here’s what you need to do.

Open the Windows

Depending on the region you’re at, it’ll probably be cold, but still, try to open the windows so you can air the house.

More than that,

Add orange peel to cups of boiling water, that will help create a fresh, clean smell throughout the house and the citrus from the orange will absorb any leftover stench from the previous night.

Wash Cloths and Napkins

If you did leave the cloths and napkins soaking in stain remover the night before, then it should be really easy to get them cleaned in the morning. Just put them in the washing machine and they’ll be as good as new!

Take Out the Trash

First,

Go around the house and collect everything that’s trash and you didn’t pick up the night before.

Then make sure to take out the trash to avoid smells, ants, or flies gathering to bother you.

Handy Vacuum Cleaner

You’re probably aware that New Year’s parties always have a lot of confetti. Since they’re small and can easily slip into your couch (much like food crumbs, which your house will also have lots of after the party), a handy vacuum cleaner will be the best choice for you to get the house cleaned.
