5 useful cleaning tips shortly before New Year's Eve

So that the cleaning does not expire to the pure rush just before New Year's Eve, decide from the beginning for the right approach and the right tools.

The auxiliary and cleaning agents should be ready from the beginning and should not be removed during the cleaning. If you have rubber gloves, cleaning supplies & co directly at hand, this will help you spend your time better and keep the cleanup process going. To make the cleaning action more pleasant, you can relax the atmosphere with music and bright light. Rossmann even has a special CD? Putz-Munter ?, which supports you rhythmically while cleaning. Alternatively, of course, the radio can be turned on.

If you want to fix your rooms quickly and efficiently, these useful cleaning tips will help you:


1. Clean up effectively

First and foremost, it is important to collect the garbage of all rooms, so that it is not in the way when cleaning. Things that you want to throw away can be identified quickly. In the kitchen, most of the dishes can first be put into the dishwasher (if available), the rest is cleaned in the sink and best dried and given. Depending on the type of laundry, collect dirty laundry in baskets and place them in the washing machine. You can easily dispose of Christmas paper scraps with the paper waste. Next, you collect all things that are not in their proper place in one place, and then sort them again. Your bed should also be freshly made: ventilate your mattress, the pillows and all blankets, turn the mattress over once, change the bed linen, and fold all pillows and blankets neatly. So your bed will look like a freshly made bed in a hotel.

2. Clean all surfaces

Since we are in the beautiful orange time, we can also take advantage of the cleaning. Orange peels are suitable for environmentally friendly cleaning and are effective against limescale and dirt. With their help, you can get all enamelled surfaces clean in your bathroom. What you can do against lime is to dissolve citric acid in water (1 teaspoon of citric acid is sufficient for 250 ml of water). You can fill this mixture in a spray bottle.

For cleaning the furniture in the other rooms you only need water and a high quality microfibre cloth. For heavy soiling, you can leave the water to work a little and later with the cloth remove all stubborn stains. In harder cases, add a splash of detergent to the water.


The windows and mirrors in your household, you can clean with water and a dash of alcohol inexpensively.

If you want to give your kitchen more shine on New Year's Eve, you should clean the dirty surfaces of the stove and the oven window. To clean the stove, you need a little lemon juice again. Rub the juice with a rag or cloth and burn it in for about 30 minutes. So you free your stove from stuck and burned leftovers. For light crusts, take a little table salt and rub it with a sponge and the baked place. If your stove has sensitive glass ceramic hobs, be a little more careful! Mix a little baking soda with vinegar, let it work overnight on the stubborn dirt and then wipe it with a damp cloth. This is easier with an induction cooker: a neutral soap is enough to dissolve all the fat residues. In order for the oven disk to shine again, you will need a dishwashing tab that you first dissolve in hot water. Soak this water on stronger incrustations and then rinse with normal, warm water.

3. Rough sweeping is always useful before vacuuming

If you want to effectively rid the floor of dust, crumbs, pine needles, and other things, sweep up all the coarse and then suck. So you save the electricity and protect your vacuum cleaner. For example, all small-grained materials, hard objects that could harm your vacuum cleaner, are already removed from the floor with the broom. By sucking, you start in the corner furthest from the door. From this corner you move with your vacuum cleaner towards the door. All narrow spots can be cleaned with the pipe or attachment. For the furniture use a suitable upholstery brush. Just make sure that you do not get tangled up in the garlands and fairy lights with your broom or vacuum cleaner!



4. Wiping the floor can also be fun

Wiping the floor can also be uncomplicated and fun. While wiping, you can use the mop to keep up with your music. A good mop is half the battle when wiping. A fringe mop complete with travel bucket and built-in wringer are the best solution for all rooms. Pour a small amount of the floor cleaner into the bucket and then fill it up with warm water so that you do not cause any flooding in the apartment. As a cheaper option, you can dissolve a few drops of soft soap in warm water.With this soapy water you get the floor just as clean. But add nothing acidic (no vinegar, no citric acid) because, for example, stone floors can damage such mixtures.

Lower the fringe mop into the soapy water and leave it there for half a minute until it is soaked. Change the cleaning solution if it is already dirty. After you have thoroughly wrung your mop, you can start in a corner of the room. Always wipe the floor in a backward direction towards the door and move the mop in small circles with a little pressure. If the floor is not clean enough, you can wipe over and let it dry. You also have to take care of your fringe mop after wiping: Hang it up to dry, to avoid mold and bad smells later on. The dirty water you should throw away in the toilet.

5. There is no room for garbage at home

Dispose of all the garbage that you collected during the cleaning. You have a lot to throw away after Christmas. After the garbage is gone, open all the windows and doors. Fresh air not only gives you new energy, but also your home.

Now you and your four walls are ready for New Year's Eve. Treat yourself to a rest after cleaning to be fit for the party!
