Hosting a large family gathering is always a wonderful experience—delicious food, great conversations, and lasting memories. However, once the guests leave, you’re often left with a messy home and the daunting task of cleaning after parties. From dirty dishes to sticky floors and cluttered spaces, post-party cleanup can feel overwhelming. To make the process easier, follow these simple steps to restore order in your home, and see how Sweepsouth can help take the stress out of the mess.
1. Start with dishes.
The kitchen is usually the biggest casualty of any gathering, with stacks of dirty plates, glasses, and utensils piling up. Start by loading the dishwasher and soaking any pots or pans with stubborn stains. If you don’t have a dishwasher, washing in batches can help make the process quicker.
2. Tackle the trash & leftovers.
Once the food has been enjoyed, there’s usually a lot of leftover packaging, disposable plates, and napkins scattered around. Go from room to room with a trash bag, collecting all the rubbish. If there’s food left over, store it properly in containers or offer it to guests before they leave.
3. Wipe down surfaces.
From dining tables to countertops, spills and crumbs are inevitable. Use a multipurpose cleaner to wipe down all surfaces, including kitchen counters, coffee tables, and dining tables. Pay special attention to sticky spots caused by spilled drinks or sauces. Sweepsouth’s professional cleaners specialise in cleaning after parties, ensuring all surfaces are sparkling clean without you having to lift a finger.
4. Vacuum & mop floors.
With many guests walking around, your floors are bound to be covered in crumbs, dust, and dirt. Start by vacuuming carpets and rugs to remove any debris. Then, mop hard floors to get rid of sticky spots and stains.
5. Freshen up the bathroom & living spaces.
Bathrooms get a lot of use during a large gathering, so give them a thorough cleaning. Replace used hand towels, wipe down sinks and mirrors, and take out the trash. In the living room, fluff up the cushions, remove any clutter, and spray a fresh scent to bring back a clean, inviting atmosphere.
