How to Make Cleaning up After a Party Easier

New Year’s Day is only a week and a half away. Many people are planning parties, arranging to go to them, or having small family get-togethers. New Year’s is a time of togetherness – a time of love, friendship, and family. It is also, as anyone who’s had the misfortune of planning a New Year’s party knows, a time of mess! Cleaning up after a party can be very annoying and difficult if you are not prepared, which is why we have written this comprehensive guide to help you in your post-New Year’s clean up.

Yes, as our titular question suggests, in this article, we will be telling how you can make cleaning up after a party easier, whether it be your New Year’s celebrations, a birthday, or just a party. So, if you are planning a party, whatever it may be, here’s how you can make cleaning up after it easy.

First and foremost, you need plastic bags. It is best to go straight to the source and buy bags in bulk, rather than buying them for stupidly expensive retail prices. A lot of plastic is produced in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore. You can save money and time by going straight to the wholesaler – not physically, of course, I’m not sure that would save you much time. Be sure to order plastic bags in advance. It’s important to get the right equipment, says one plastic and packaging manufacturer in Vietnam, so don’t just get plastic bags – if you need boxes, get boxes too. Be sure to get your waste bags and boxes in advance!

You should aim to create a clean team roster. A few friends and relatives should come together the day after the party and get cleaning. If you are having a large party, it’s very unlikely that you’ll be able to clean it all up yourself. Save yourself time and effort by enlisting the help of a clean team. If they are willing to party and trash your home – they should be willing to help you clean up their mess!

While not necessarily a way for you to clean up, it is a preventative measure to mess spreading to areas of your home where you do not want it. Create a series of restricted area signs to prevent people from walking all around your home and going into areas that you do not want them to go. This will ensure that you do not have your house completely trashed and that there are some rooms for you to rest in until you feel sober and strong enough to clean up the previous night’s mess.

Ah, the age-old question. Brush or hoover? In the aftermath of a messy party, we have to opt for the latter. Hoovers will save you time and effort and will ensure you can clean up in a matter of minutes, rather than hours. With a brush, you need to sweep into a pan, which can be a big headache and can take a while. Invest in a hoover for your party so you are able to clean up properly in its aftermath and ensure that you do not waste time when you could be resting!

If you really are not the cleaning type and cannot bring yourself to clean up your entire home in the wake of a party you could just enlist the help of a professional party cleaning company. These companies come the day after a party to ensure that all the waste and junk is cleaned and will do a very good job – perhaps better than you yourself could do. Having your home professionally cleaned is a great way to save yourself time, although they can cost a lot of money. Investing in professional cleaning is a great way to clean up in the wake of a messy party.

If you do not want to fork out the money for a professional cleaner but are too exhausted to clean up yourself, you may want to pay the kids! What’re kids for, right? Pay your children a reasonable amount of money or offer them an incentive to clean up afterward for you, providing that there is nothing harmful like broken glass lying around. If it is just plastic, snacks, and other bits of harmless waste, then go ahead. Paying your children is a good way to teach them the value of hard work while resting and sleeping off the night before. Do not underpay them, however, for they are not your slaves, remember! Perhaps boost their allowance by 25% or buy them new games consoles – a few have just been released and they are very hard to find.
