Party Proof Your Home for The Game

If your carpets, upholstery, or rugs have been cleaned before a gathering, a little preparation can make cleanup easier after guests leave.

Use these tips from Allaire Chem-Dry as a simple guide for preparing your home before a party.

1. Keep spot-cleaning supplies nearby: Place approved spot-cleaning products, plain white cloths, or paper towels in an easy-to-reach area so spills can be blotted promptly.
2. Consider flameless candles: Flameless candles can add ambience without using an open flame.
3. Ask about upholstery protectant: Chem-Dry’s upholstery protectant may be available as an optional add-on for select upholstered furniture items.
4. Store valuables and fragile items: Place fragile decor, keepsakes, or valuables in a secure location before guests arrive, especially if children will be attending.
5. Set out coasters: Place coasters near seating areas and tables so guests have an easy place to set drinks.
6. Use entry mats: Place mats outside and inside the front door to collect some dirt and debris from shoes.
7. Use table linens: A table runner or tablecloth can be useful for serving areas, dining tables, and snack stations. Keep drinks and food in areas that are easy to access and clean.
8. Ask about carpet protectant: Chem-Dry’s carpet protectant may be available as an optional add-on for select carpets.
9. Keep napkins and paper towels visible: Make napkins, paper towels, and trash bags easy for guests to find during the gathering.

Taking a few simple steps before guests arrive can make post-party cleanup more manageable.
