🎃 Spooky Season Cleaning Tips: Keep the Tricks Outside and the Treats In!

Halloween is all about fun, costumes and sweet treats — but once the celebrations are over, things can get a little frightful around the home! From sticky sweets to pumpkin mess, it’s easy for things to get out of hand.

Here are a few tips to help you tackle the Halloween aftermath and keep your home in top shape:

👻 1. Glitter and fake cobwebs – gone in a flash

Glitter, confetti and those fluffy fake cobwebs cling to every surface. Use a lint roller or slightly damp microfibre cloth to lift them away instead of smearing them further.

🕯 2. Candle wax on surfaces?

Place an ice cube on hardened wax for a few minutes — it’ll lift away easily without scratching your furniture.

🍬 3. Sticky sweet spots

Trick-or-treating can leave a trail of sugary fingerprints. A simple solution of warm water and mild detergent works wonders on sticky doors and handles.

🎃 4. Pumpkin residue

Carved pumpkins can leave stains or even mildew if left too long. Compost them quickly and give the area a disinfecting wipe-down.

👟 5. Muddy footprints from little monsters

Pop a washable doormat by the front door and vacuum regularly to keep spooky season dirt under control.
