Smart Green Cleaning Hacks for Post-Halloween Refresh

Are you afraid of the haunting nightmare that follows your Halloween? It can be more terrifying than the costume itself, then sticky candy spots, glitter trails, pumpkin smudges, etc. However, what would happen when you clean things up without involving the use of harsh chemicals and their toxic effects on the environment? It is where green cleaning comes in – useful, non-toxic, and Earth-friendly. Such environmentally-friendly tricks do not just bring back the shine but make your house toxin-free as well. We will find out natural, simple and smart methods to make your post-Halloween clean up simple, easy and guilt-free!

1. Get rid of Sticky Candy Residue Bottomlessly

Gummy candy can be stuck on the floors or even on furniture after the fun. Rather than applying removers that involve the use of chemicals, combine white vinegar and warm water in equal amounts in a spray bottle. Apply this light solution on the sticky surface and leave it to dry within a few minutes, and clean it using a microfiber cloth. It is not acidic, and this makes the deposition of the sugars soft within a short period, and the surfaces are clean without streaks.

2. Pumpkin Stains with the help of Baking Soda

Carving pumpkins is quite interesting, yet it leaves the countertops or tiles with orange stains. Of course, they will be solved by sprinkling baking soda on the area and dripping some drops of lemon juice. Shake the mixture in two minutes and scrub. Fizz the mixture for two minutes, then scrub. This combination cancels smell, removes stains and restores the original shine to the surface.

3. Sweep away Glitter with Food Cornstarch

Glitter can be very magical, but it is infamous in that it sticks everywhere. Rather than following all this glitter, sprinkle a fine dust of cornstarch on the affected area. This fine powder loosens the static elements, and you can easily sweep this or vacuum it away. It is a clever trick that does not give microplastics access to drains and can even save time and effort.

4. Spray Vinegar on Refresh Fabric Costumes and Upholstery

Costumes and cloth decorations tend to harbour smells following a big night of celebrations. Add the vinegar and water in distilled vinegar in a misting bottle in a 1-2 ratio and spray the material lightly. The natural solution removes odours, cleans without harshness and makes clothing fresh. Hang them outside to dry in the air and have a fresh, clean feel.

5. Clean Flooring Shine: Olive Oil and Lemon

Olive oil, lemon juice can miraculously work in case sticky footprints/shoe marks are produced on hard floors. Add two tablespoons of olive oil and two or three drops of lemon essence, and spray a cloth and rub the surface in a circular movement. It makes the floor clean and adds a light, fresh fragrance to the floor.

Conclusion

All ingredients used are natural, e.g. vinegar, baking soda, corn starch and lemon and thus all the stains are simple to use. On that note, throughout the process of taking the decorations off and attaching the lights, glorify the sustainability. Wash, green and clean the House, keep it clean!
