Decoration and preparation of the apartment for the New Year

Traditionally, preparation for the New Year holidays begins with a general cleaning, cleaning up the house and getting rid of the rubble.

If you clean, following my rules for preparing an apartment for the New Year, everything will work out.

Vases, crystal, glass

Remove the removable elements from the chandeliers and fixtures, lower them into a container with heated water and add detergent. Remove and wipe with a cloth later. Use cotton gloves. It’s more convenient to work in them.
Pour vinegar into the vase and leave until the next morning. If the night procedure cleansed the vase, rinse with water. Otherwise, add rice to vinegar and shake the product. Then wipe the walls of the vase with grains and the coating will come off.

Tulle and curtains

If the curtains turn yellow, soak them in bleach for an hour, and then send them to the washing machine.
At the end of the wash, hang the still-wet tulle on the cornice. Vacuum heavy curtains using a narrow nozzle.

Fireplace

Use a dry cloth to remove dirt and ash from the fireplace surfaces. Use a vacuum cleaner with a special brush.
Use an iron brush to clean the grate and the front of the fireplace. If the grill is made of cast iron, use a special paste.

Technics

Unplug the TV and PC. Wipe the screens with a dry cloth. Grease stains with a special cleaning cloth that eliminates static charge.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the LCD screens, because they contain solvents or alcohol. Stock up on a special tool.
A computer keyboard is a great dust collector. To clean, disconnect it from the computer, turn it over, and shake it over a sheet of newspaper.
Use a vacuum cleaner to deal with remaining dust. Wipe the area between the buttons with a cotton swab dipped in soapy water.
Wipe the remote controls and handsets with an antibacterial wipe.

Furniture

If the furniture is leather, first remove dirt and dust with a damp cloth. After applying on the skin a special solution that will maintain elasticity and softness.
Cleaning wooden furniture is a little easier. Using a special paste, remove the scratches, and then rub with a woolen cloth.
If a dog or cat lives in the apartment, be sure to cover the upholstered furniture with special wraps. If you do not want to hide furniture under covers, use decorative napkins and put where pets usually lie.

Sink and taps

Wipe the wash with abrasive. Put brushes and sponges in a separate box. If they have served, discard. If suitable for use, disinfect in a microwave oven.
Moisten a cloth with a limescale remover and wrap the taps. After some time, remove and rinse the taps with water.
If there is no special product, use lemon juice or vinegar for cleaning.

Microwave, containers, kitchen boards

Use hot water to sterilize the cutting board. If the kitchen has old boards or products covered with mold, it is better to get rid of them. It is enough to wash plastic forms.
The microwave oven is easy to clean with a solution of water and lemon peel. Put the dishes with the product in the oven for a couple of minutes.
The essential oils contained in the lemon will quickly dissolve the fat, and a pleasant aroma will appear in the kitchen. It remains to wipe the stove with a cloth.
Often, an unpleasant odor enters the room through the open door of the kitchen cabinet. Ground coffee on a piece of paper, located in a cabinet, will help to eliminate it.

Ceramic tile

When laying the tiles, the masters leave seams, which are subsequently clogged with a special mixture. It is beautiful, but it is not easy to clean the seams. Help bleach paired with a toothbrush.
Dirt that does not rub off the surface of the tile can be easily removed with a mixture of sugar and liquid soap. Grate the tile with a tool, and then wash it off with a rag.

Christmas tree

Cut the tree at an angle, and upon returning home, put it in a bucket of cold water for a day.
The next day, wipe the place of cut, dry and coat with wax.

Shelves & Cabinets

Get rid of unnecessary things. Fold the remaining items neatly.
New Year's Eve is the perfect time to get rid of cardboard boxes, broken toys and old clothes.

It remains to run around the apartment with a vacuum cleaner, which will collect the remaining dust and debris. Without this device, it is impossible to clean the apartment. Next, remove dust from the remaining surfaces, and then do wet cleaning. Everything, the apartment is clean, you can cook treats, bake a New Year’s cake and wait for the guests to arrive.
