TCC | Post-Holiday Cleanup: Restoring Order After Thanksgiving

After the joyous Thanksgiving feast, it's time to tackle the aftermath. Post-holiday cleanup might seem daunting, but with a strategic approach, you can restore order to your home and start the winter season on a clean slate.


1. **Clearing the Table:**
Begin by clearing the Thanksgiving table of dishes, utensils, and leftover food. Properly store leftovers, and consider composting kitchen scraps.

2. **Tackling the Kitchen:**
Dive into the kitchen, where the culinary magic happened. Cleanse countertops, appliances, and the stovetop. Don't forget to give the oven and microwave a thorough cleaning to remove any spills.

3. **Dish Duty:**
If you hosted a gathering, the dish duty is inevitable. Strategically load the dishwasher and hand wash delicate items. Enlist the help of family members to make the task more manageable.

4. **Refreshing the Living Space:**
Declutter the living space by putting away extra chairs, folding tables, and any decorations. Vacuum and dust to give your home a fresh and inviting ambiance.

5. **Handling Decorations:**
Safely pack away Thanksgiving decorations. Consider organizing them for easy access next year. If you have any items that are no longer needed, donate or repurpose them.

Post-holiday cleanup might not be as glamorous as the feast itself, but it sets the stage for a cozy and organized winter season. Take it one task at a time, involve the whole family, and soon your home will be a haven of post-Thanksgiving tranquility.
